Time spent in nature in 2020 saved the NHS £356 a head.figures show

However, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) found the amount of time Britons visited or spent time in nature fell sharply last year compared with 2020, with 15% fewer visits recorded in 2022 compared with 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The ONS calculated the associated health benefits in terms of "the number of years of life lived in perfect health": a combined 22,000 years across the population.
